Default OT Stereotypes of "liberals" vs "conservatives"

Take one trait that is common among liberals; tolerance. This same

they like a lot more


I must call bull**** on that one.
I find tolerance to be about equally practiced by liberals and
conservatives, though you may find it preached more frequently by
(political) liberals.

It is a trait I rarely see displayed by pundits of either side.



The point is this, is the word tolerant one that is frequently used
when describing a conservative? There is just no denying the fact
that tolerance of other views, ideas, or lifestyles is not something
that is commonly associated with conservatives. You can deny that all
you want but liberals are always more associated with being tolerant
than conservatives are. That's just a fact.


Liberals are just as intolerant as conservatives, what's different is the
things they find intolerable.
